livejournal issues abbreviate posts

[gurdonark]

This is my third try to write a post since the new year. The other two failed to post due to problems with LiveJournal's service. I am sympathetic that it experiences a lot of DDoS attacks, but at some point
it just gets annoying to lose posts to its unreliability.

I was going to post about this:

1. New Year's Day in Sherman with my young friend, including seeing a red-shouldered hawk on a very chilly day near Hagerman NWR and drinking blackberry tea at Hastings Records;
2. taking 19 boxes of used books to Recycled Books and Records in Denton, which bought some at a very fair price and we took the rest to Goodwill.
3. Finishing refurbishing a used eBay computer for my young friend. Total cost, including case:
$ 55.09.
4. Going on a bird walk Saturday at Connemara Conservancy not far from my house, and seeing dozens of species.
5. Working hard.
6. Looking forward to setting up the raspberry pi computer I got for Christmas
7. January 8: the 7th Beaversary, when we adopted our dog.
8. My successful efforts to trace my wife's great-great grandmother's history in Sweden. I am as far back as 1839 now.

So now I'll post about it in summary form.

Truly, it's highly frustrating.

I'm starting to realize, that when I stop seeing posts from regular posters, it may be because of LJ glitches and NOT because they've disappeared.

What is a raspberry pi computer?

I often copy my online work for this very reason - duplication resulting from distrust.

I am very, very interested in Sweden. More on this sometime.

I find your desire/ability to improve yourself to both creative/productive ends remarkable/enviable. I think about it often.

I have no dogs of my own. This year I learned that I like some dogs and, further, that I tend to like dogs whose owners have a certain personal philosophy. I have a feeling I would like your dogs.

How did he like his computer?

I highly recommend this compilation.....87 tracks and only $10 (which goes to charity).
